Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

"Brother Yan, shall we go back to the hotel?"

After recording the Beijing Spring Festival Gala and getting into the van, Zhang Dandan turned around and asked.

"Go to Waiting Bar on the West Third Ring Road."

Shen Yan glanced down at the text message Cheng Xu had sent and gave his exact location.

He was free tonight, so Brother Xu invited him to have a drink together.

Sister-in-law Xu and his brother-in-law were there, along with a few other friends.

However, Shen Yan was surprised to find that the bar's name was exactly the same as the bar's name in "My Date with a Vampire".

Is the boss a Date with Zombies fan?

"Dandan, you should go back now."

When the car arrived at the bar entrance, Shen Yan waved goodbye.

"I'll take a taxi home by myself tonight."

"Okay, Brother Yan, call me if you need anything."

Zhang Dandan nodded with a smile.

K-sister made a promise to her today, saying that once she has been with the company for a year, she will promote her to executive agent.

It's almost here; in another six months, she'll be a year old.

After getting off the bus, Shen Yan casually put on a baseball cap.

Face mask?

That's not necessary.

Although his songs have been very popular recently, he has only been in the industry for a short time, his marketing hasn't caught up yet, and his national recognition is far from sufficient, so he doesn't really need to hide himself.

"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"

Upon arriving at the bar entrance, a burly security guard wearing headphones and a black down jacket politely approached and inquired.

"Yes, Brother Xu asked me to come."

"Okay, please follow me."

Shen Yan then followed the security personnel into the bar.

The atmosphere inside was very quiet.

It wasn't a business-oriented bar. Seeing the small stage in the middle, Shen Yan smiled.

This place is more like a livehouse.

However, he had never really heard of this place before.

"Xiao Yan, over here."

Cheng Xu spotted Shen Yan immediately, smiled, and stood up to greet him. The others in the booth also looked up and headed in that direction.

"Brother Xu."

Once inside the bar, Shen Yan had already taken off his hat.

He realized that it seemed like the entire venue was booked for him today?

Apart from the large booth where Xu Ge and his group were sitting, there were only a few people sitting at the bar; all the other seats were empty.

"Come on, let me introduce you to some friends."

Cheng Xu pulled him to the booth.

"sister in law."

Seeing the woman with short hair who looked to be in her thirties but was actually almost forty, Shen Yan smiled and said.

"have not seen you for a long time."

"It hasn't been long, just a few months," Ma Qianqian joked with a smile. "However, you have indeed changed a lot; you've matured considerably."

"This is Ma Hao, my brother-in-law."

Then, Cheng Xu pointed to a young man next to him and introduced several other people, all of whom were from the television station and newspaper system.

"This is Gao Yong, my brother-in-law's senior in school, and also his mentor."

"Don't say that, what master or not." Gao Yong shook his head with a smile: "It's just that we communicate more online and discuss things together."

"This person probably doesn't need an introduction, right?"

When Cheng Xu introduced the last person, he laughed heartily.

"Sister Yuanyuan, hello, I'm Shen Yan." Shen Yan took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello, we were just talking about you." Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, "Great talent."

"What kind of genius do I think I am?"

Shen Yan spread his hands and said, "There are so many top students from prestigious universities like Tsinghua, Peking University, and Communication University of China sitting here. How dare I, a mediocre student who only scored around 400 points on the college entrance exam, call myself a genius?"

"At least your Beijing Film Academy is an undergraduate institution, so am I, a junior college student, even worse academically?"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Shen Yan with a smile, her tone slightly teasing.

"That's not true." Shen Yan waved his hand and said, "There is no distinction between high and low jobs. There is no difference between junior college and university graduates. The only difference is the division of labor."

"You've got quite the tongue, you know how to talk a good game," Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, Yuanyuan, you don't know, he's like this whenever he sees a pretty girl," Cheng Xu joked from the side.

After a few casual words, the drinking party officially began, and Shen Yan, as usual, took a walk around first.

After his rebirth, his alcohol tolerance also improved.

It used to be a pound of liquor.

Now?

He's never been drunk, and he feels like he can drink forever.

Before long, Sister-in-law Xu came over with a wine glass in her hand.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for the website."

"You're too kind, sister-in-law. I was just mentioning it."

Shen Yan shook his head slightly.

Recently, Xu Ge's Taobao affiliate marketer has been doing quite well.

Internet companies are all about speed.

According to Xu Ge, Ali has set its sights on Taoke Girls and has clearly expressed its intention to acquire them; however, the two sides are still in a tug-of-war.

Brother Xu doesn't want to sell at a low price, while Ah Li wants to buy at a low price.

For Ma Qianqian, this matter was not just about money, but also about saving face, and even more so about her younger brother Ma Hao's future development.

If Alibaba acquires a company with this experience, it will greatly broaden the path for them, whether they go to a major internet company or start their own business.

This is why she used her connections to force Shen Yan into the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala.

If she had more time, she would have liked to try out for the Spring Festival Gala.

After exchanging toasts, Brother Xu organized a game, a very cliché game of Truth or Dare.

Shen Yan was having particularly bad luck today, being repeatedly drawn in several rounds.

Why did you choose to apply to the Beijing Film Academy?

"To become famous, to have fun."

"Are those love songs based on your own experiences?"

"Yes."

How many relationships have you been in?

"I choose the dare."

The question immediately sparked a commotion, and Shen Yan could only shrug helplessly.

Everyone unanimously decided to let him go on stage and sing a song.

then.

Shen Yan got up and walked to the stage. There was no accompaniment, so he could only pick up the guitar on the stage, test the sound a few times, and then sit on the high stool in front of the microphone.

Change always happens quietly.

Like a storm, it is lost and confused.

But I haven't learned to face it with strength yet.

I passively accepted your lies…

He didn't sing those popular songs; he chose the lesser-known and niche song "Toy".

There was no band, no backing tracks, only guitars and vocals flowing slowly through the bar.

Shen Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it had a powerful, persuasive quality.

That sense of bewilderment and helplessness clearly reached everyone's ears.

Sitting on the booth sofa, Gao Yuanyuan rested her chin on one hand, her gaze focused intently on the center of the stage.

Shen Yan closed his eyes, seemingly completely immersed in the world of music.

At that moment, the stage lights suddenly changed.

The bar owner made a move.

Only a soft, slanted overhead light remained on the stage, shining perfectly on Shen Yan.

Looking at her clearly defined profile under the light, Gao Yuanyuan felt as if something had gently bumped into her heart.

She had just broken up with her boyfriend a few years ago.

"Can you please stop arguing?"

Don't bring me that kind of fear.

You never paid attention to his cries.

Is there still a chance for my wish to come true...?

The song's charm lies in its straightforward and restrained performance, devoid of any strained vocals.

At this moment, the other people in the booth gradually quieted down, no one spoke anymore, and they were all immersed in the singing.

If time could stand still at this moment...

I would trade all my toys for it.

I don't want this to be the last supper.

Upon hearing these last few sentences, Ma Qianqian turned her head and asked Cheng Xu, who was standing next to her, in a low voice.

"Is this song... based on Xiao Yan's own experiences?"

"No." Cheng Xu lowered his voice and said with certainty, "This kid has a happy family. I asked him, and it's about his friend's experience."

"You sang so well."

Ma Qianqian sighed softly, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

When she was a child, her parents often quarreled. They divorced right after she graduated from junior high school, and her father later remarried.

There are actually three children in their family. She and Ma Hao are born to the same mother, and they have a younger brother who was born to their stepmother.

Snapped!Snapped!

After Shen Yan finished playing the finale, Cheng Xu led the applause, and then the applause in the audience started sparsely, but soon became enthusiastic again.

the other side.

While clapping, Gao Yong coughed lightly and said in a cryptic tone.

"He's too young."

Having grown up together since childhood, how could he not understand his own sister?

There was something off about his eyes.

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at her brother, annoyed.

What kind of brother would say that his sister is old in a roundabout way?

Say.

She's only thirty years old.

Is it very old?
